dear god though the painful accuracy of this frame. the tone of voice, the angle of arms, the self-satisfied complacency, the peevishness, the self-regard

what a wonderful time the late-60s-late-70s window was for green mannish stuff. although a shame it was typically played for shrieks because in many ways this is the dream, really, isn't it
SHADOWS: THE MAN WHO HATED CHILDREN (1978) ITV's supernatural anthology for kids had many a classic episode, but this black comedy (starring Brian Wilde and George Cooper) is up there with the very best. And it features this nightmarish scene...

You are fantastic. You are a lost art rediscovered. You are a grimoire pizza written in bell peppers. You are a cosmic maple moth silhouetted against the moon. You are a haunted doll with a thousand teeth conducting a spider orchestra in the attic.

Fleeced in the City: The History of Sheep Grazing in London’s Parks
Picture the scene: a misty morning in Hyde Park, the distant clatter of horse-drawn carriages, and a flock of sheep serenely nibbling away at the grass. No, this isn’t the latest pastoral-themed art installation or an ambitious promotional stunt for artisanal wool—it’s a glimpse into London’s past, when sheep grazing in the city’s parks was an everyday sight. And, in some cases, it still is.
